Marianne, a student at Discovery Middle School in Madison and a
member of Troop 320, earned the Silver Award by creating English/Spanish flashcards for health care workers to help communicate with patients at Athens-Limestone Hospital. According to Marianne, there were not enough interpreters in the hospital and many of the patients spoke predominately Spanish. She hopes that the cards will prove to be useful for patients and the healthcare workers for a long time.
